Couvent Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru 2022

Cheron also has almost an acre in Mazoyères,” a climat in Charmes-Chambertin. (The wine may be labeled either “Mazoyères Grand Cru” or “Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru” at the producer’s election. Jasper Morris described it as having “immediate weight à la Charmes, but with a density and minerality which is more Mazoyeres”). Morris found “an enormous volume of fine dark fruit here,” praising its “excellent concentration” and its “long and sensual finish.” We found it beautiful, with dark briary blackberry fruit mixing with gingerbread and warm earth. We think Morris’s 95-97 rating is well deserved. If you have the budget and patience, this will be magnificent.
